No.
Testing with sdl/ffplay is usually not a good idea,
you find many bugs in sdl;-(
(Or at least memleaks that have nothing to do with
FFmpeg.)
This is about a global lock that libavcodec needs
to avoid race conditions, releasing the lock would
introduce another race condition (only for dynamic
libraries iirc).
